Baptisms 1813 to 1880
The parish of Boughton lies in West Norfolk, one of a
series of parishes close to the line of the A134 road which runs from
King's Lynn to Thetford and along the edge of the Fens. The road likes
to keep its feet dry and the villages are no exception being 20 metres
or so above the Fen level and on dryer agricultural ground. Boughton village
is set about a mile north of the A134 and about 5 miles east of the market
town of Downham Market. It is a compact village with houses gathered tightly
around the picturesque village green and pond. |

A single standard 800-entry register book covers the period of the transcript and continues up to modern times. The book has suffered some damage through the years and is stained with water & mould damage in places. The register has been filmed recently on microfilm MFRO698 which is a modern era film with all the benefits according in terms of clarity and contrast. The images are sufficient to read despite the damage to the original and as a result this was a straightforward transcript to prepare and it is to be hoped few errors will have crept in. |
